Exam hell is over!
The General Baccalaureat 2006 is over.
I could barely think by the end of the week.
It started last monday with Philosophy - 4 hours. The essay question I answered was
Do we duties only towards others?
I spent far too longer pondering whether
- other than others, is there only myself?
- can I have a duty towards myself?
- in thinking of a duty towards myself, don't I in fact treat myself as an other?
I'm glad I actually wrote a plan otherwise I'd have just been rambling for hours...
Anyway, hell week ended on Friday afternoon with three hours of my second modern foreign language - Spanish. In between all the rest: Latin, French, Literature, English as a Second Language, Maths and Computing, Music, History-Geography. At one point I had a nightmare in which I'd mistakenly been entered for Greek and was sitting facing a page of Plato for commentary on his political ideas...thanks be I woke up before it got any worse.
I spent quite a lot of Saturday on the phone to the boy. It feels like far too long since I've seen him. I'd fly off right away but I need a couple of days to wind down. Yesterday I took my pod and a dome tent to the dunes and spent the whole day just staring at the sea. I should market it as therapy.
I'm still physically a bit stressed so I need to get off this 'puter and get out for a nice slow run to see if I can't unknot at least some of these muscles.
I've missed all the GA guys so much. Sometimes I think I miss my boys (and gals of course) almost as much as I miss my boy.
peace OUT
